First Lecture: 16.10.2025

Foundations of Virtual Reality provides a broad overview of the foundational theories, concepts and technologies involved in virtual reality. Topics covered include:

• Definitions and history of immersive media
• Active and spatial perception - vision, hearing, touch, somatic senses
• Stereo, head-tracked images and head-mounted visual displays
• 3D tracking technologies - noise, filtering, drift
• Sonic and haptic displays
• Interaction, locomotion and navigation in virtual spaces
• Software and application design for real-time VR
• Embodiment, social presence, measuring immersion

Tutorials will provide hands-on introduction to these topics using WebGL, Threejs and Unity.

WiSe 2025-26 Theme: Sonic Augmented Reality

In Situ Binaural Audio (ISBA) is a powerful technique for creating sonic augmented reality experiences. Indeed, under certain conditions, it can be impossible to distinguish virtual sounds from real ones.
It has great potential for creative applications, from theatre to music, journalism, education and gaming, and is a powerful tool for studying aspects of perception and cognition.

In this class we will investigate ISBA from two perspectives. 
Firstly, we will design and run a number of experiments to better understand ISBA. Under what conditions does it work well? When does it fail? What kinds of sounds work best? How can we measure it? 
Secondly, we will explore possible applications of the technique. 

Students will work in small groups to develop prototypes and design experiments.

The Experimental Media Lab splits up into two groups, one as Co-lab with Technische Design and one as Co-lab with Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden. Please choose only one.

Co-lab with TU Dresden Technische Design

Informatik students will join with industrial design students to develop prototypes and solutions to real world challenges.

IXLAB is offering a range of individual and group Research Projects in the field of immersive media. Topics include theoretical and perceptual factors, technical challenges, design and interaction issues and novel applications of different manifestations of virtual and augmented reality. Application fields include archaeology, architecture, data visualisation, geospatial science, physiotherapy or psychotherapy, museums and libraries, music and film production, journalism or education and training.

Projects are available for all levels: Bachelor and Master Theses, Großer Beleg and individual and team research projects in INF-PM-FPA, INF-PM-FPG, CMS-PROJ, CMS-VC-TEA
